ALL ABOARD HURRAHi FOR
THE ROCK ISLAND.
rheRoad Finished to Phiuipsburg


For dozen years the people of Phil
lips6urg have worked and prayed for a
railroad and now they have one. The
tracklayers laid the ralls to within
three hundred yards of the incorporate
limits on last Sunday and the cars ran
into the depot by 9 80 a. NJ. on Mon
duy Dec. u.
The necessary side tracks were put
down without unnecessary delay and
the traok-laying on the main line kept
right on till, at this writing, the con-
structiOn train is several miles west of
this place. At this writing it is under
stood that the regular trains will be put
on today, Thursday, but II they are
not from any cause, there viii not be a
delay of more than a day or two. Mr.,
Turpin the agent has opened his Office
and the road is nov ready for bust
ness.
1t had been the intention to have
had biz jubilee on the arrival of the
track-layers, but that purpose was I'm
ally abandoned because no suitable
room could be secured. Some pro-
vision we learn was sent to the mana
gers of the boarding cars, but no sys-
teInatic effort was made to give q sup
ger to the railroad force.
C.R Camp, publisher Of the West
ern Advocate at Topeka, addressed q
meeting Of the board of Trade and citi-
zens at the Court House Wednesday
evening. His paper is the Official med
ium OF the c. K. & n. railway, and he
proposes if $50 persons subscribe for
the Monthly Advocate at S1.0O per
year, he will advertise, in connection
with the railroad company, Phillips
burg and Phillips county in twelve is
sues Of his paper and insert a map Of
the county. Everybody seemed 20 re-
ceive the proposition favorably and in
deed it is a very good offer. About 40
copies were subscribed for before the
meeting adjourned and a committee
has been canvassing for subscriptions
since with very good success. There IS
another public meeting at the court
house this Friday evening at 500
O'Clock to receive the report of the
canvassing committee.

Frightful Accident.

Yesterday evening while Mrs. X
Hunstable, was driving on Live Oak
street with her baby in the buggy
with her met with terrible accident.
Before her she saw an engine coming
and hurried her horse across the track
in front os the engine. After she had
crossed the track she checked her
horse which she feared would run
away, and the horse began to back,
and fearing that he would back the
buggy into the train of cars jumped
with her child out of the buggy. In
doing so her skirts became entangled
in the dash board, throwing her to
the ground and holding her fast. The
horse started aad ran, dragging Mrs.
lIunstable between 20 and 80 yards
severely bruising and decorating her
head and shoulders. She was rescued
from her per;lous position and taken
at oace to her home, on South Har-
wood street, where Drs. Henry,
Mosclcy and ]. V. Childers rendered
all relief possible. She was uncon-
scious for eleven hours. II was feared
at first that she had sustained serious
injury, but it is confidently believed
now that there is no danger. She is
resting comfortably and is entirely |

A Western Wild Goose Story.

II want to tell you little story about
my boy out in Newbraskey," said an
old farmer in the smoking-car to the
party of drummers who had been tell
ing him some pretty tall yarns. my
boy is good deal of a genius in his
way, femme tell you. and none of 'em
gets ahead of him. Tother dav he rig
ged up kite. 1t was the biggest kite
I'd ever set eyes on. 1t was about six
feet wide, an twice as long. an on the
top of it my boy placed few green
branches which he'd cut from a cotton
wood tree. What's them fer?' Iinquir-
ed. Never you mind, dad, says he;
i know what I'm about And by goshl
he did, He flew that kite up in the air,
an stood watchin' of it for long time,
when l says to him; You'd better put
that thing down, now, an get to work.
Lemme alone, dad he replied, IN
git thar yet. And, by goshl he did.
The next time | looked at him he was
a-hauling in on the kite line, with a
smile on his face as broad as furrer.
When the kite came down near the
ground / saw what he was a-smilin' at,
an it was enough to make body smile,
too. Amy you fellcrs want te guess
what was on that kite?"
None of the drummers wanted to
guess, and the old man continued his
story.
"Wall, sir, a-settin' on the top O.
that kite was eleven o. the purtiest
wild geese We ever saw, Yes, sir, elev.
en- on 'em. You see. the geese was
flynn north putty thick, an my boy had
got up this scheme to catch 'em. There
amt many trees out our way. an after Q
fat goose has been fyin' purity steady all
day he gets kind o. tired like, an looks
around for place to sit down an rest.
That's just what my boy was countin'
on when he built that kite. By offerin'
the geese place to stop an rest, an
by smearin' the top o. the kite with
tar. so their feet would stick so fast
they couldn't get away, he did the bust
ness. BY gosh! bat'it was fun to pull
them geese in. Just as fast as we could
send the kite up and pull her down
again we got from ten to dozen geese.
an in four days We captured six car
loads. an I'm takin' EN- to Chicago
now to sell. None O. you smart story

The Pttsburg Leader alludes sarcas-
tically to evictions for non-paynent
of rent in this country-and by
Irish landlords, too - and claims
that the principle is the same as in Ire
land There is difference of circum-
stances where the rented property is
mostly improvements made by the own
er and not the tenant, and in the other
case where the land is the principal
thing. But it is quite true that all forms
of landlordism are favored and protec-
ted under American law. The develop
ments from this beginning may take
time to appear in full bloom. The gen
eral question is not at all comprised in
the particular question as to what the
landlord has invested either in the Iur-
chase of the land OF improvements. The
cost of improvements is enormously in
creased by the monopoly of sources of
timber, stone, clay. Then the cost of
any building site is almost wholly de.
pendent upon the monopoly of all the
surrounding land without regard to use.
A site, together with access to forests
and minerals and the application of skill
and industry, would make homes at small
cost. This being prevented by syste-
matte public policy. the tenant, while
literally indebted for use of improve
ments TO his landlord, is so indebted be-
cause the statesmen have thus arranged
things, presumably without knowing
that the arrangements would not bear
exhaustive analysis. The evil suspected
to lurk in public policy is more than a
question of individual harshness or
mildness. For this reason the rigid de-
tenders of vested rights may be said to
contribute as much to social reform as
many on the other side. News.

from San Antonio down with mud
sour honey and general cussedness,
and the line was literally 400 miles o.
Hades in active eruption. Lieut.
Greedy wrote on to the Washington ex.
perts, who promptly got new breed
of insulators, solid as brick and
burglar proof. These were shipped,
and Lieut.. Greedy induced a gang Of
innocent and unsuspecting linemen to
sign a cast-iron contract to take the
old insulators down.
The repairing" party left Fort Brown
on April 10. By this time the hornets
had raised an uproarious family in
each insulator, and the first lineman
who Skinned up to serve a writ of eject
ment got dose of trouble which made
his hair curl. The way those hornets
expressed their opinion of Signal-Ser'
vice hospitality was sinful, 1t cost the
contractor forty-six able-bodied line
men, nineteen barrels of bread poultice
and case of refined arnica to repair
the first eight miles of that line, and
the operations ceased. When the line.
men got so they could see well enough
out of one eye to shoot they went gum
ming for Lieut.. Greedy, but he had al
ready fled the State in blue fog, and
the next heard of him he had barri
caded himself somewhere in the neigh
borhood of the North Pole. The line
remained in an active and warlike
statu quo until winter, and kilograms
were forwarded by the aid of a slow
but perseverng mule. After the first
blizzard had Gained the hornets down
q little and frozen the families into
solid Jumps the contractor resumed his
labors and recouped his losses by ship
